Property Ratings at MAA Cornelius
If you want to deal with an apartment that was NEVER turned over. Copious amounts of pet hair from the previous tenant painted over. Oven door broke, food spilled in the pantry, microwave not cleaned. In the summer months hope your AC doesn’t stop working cause they won’t come and fix it for several days.
Property Manager at MAA Cornelius, Responded To This Review
Hi, we regret to hear that you had a negative experience with us, but would appreciate the chance to turn your experience around. Please contact us at ResidentCare@maac.com when you have an opportunity and we will be more than happy to try and turn your experience around. We take your time seriously so please allow us 48 business hours to respond to your inquiry. Thank you.
The office staff is incredibly rude and dismissive, especially the manager, Kerilee. The apartment is old, really old. The countertops are basically paper as well as the cabinets. A prior tenant damaged the inside of the cabinet and it's warped and smelly. They paint a strange pale yellow in the apartment and it's over everything, even the blinds. They didn't clean the apartment and I found sharp metal wire that I stepped on. When I told them, they basically called me a liar. The only positive is the balcony, which is nice.

I moved in with a 14mo lease and when my lease was about to expire, the renewal lease rent price was over 23% higher than what I was currently paying. Well into the 4 digits a month for a 680sqft… No thanks. Found a 2300 sqft home for only $200 more than that. When you move out (because you will), pay for the apartment cleaning because they charge an ABSURD AMOUNT for cleaning individual items and they will find a reason to “clean” some items. $15 for laundry room, $25 for a stove (when we already cleaned it) quickly adds up past the amount it would have cost to pay for the cleaning. Also, you’re forced into a $70/mo for internet you HAVE to pay through them with no way out. Also, there’s an obnoxious loud exhaust car than revs up his engine for literally 10min when leaving or coming back (at late hours) that you can hear throughout the entire complex. Other than that, the maintenance staff was really nice and persistent with getting issues solved. But really, just move into a van and park it around Cornelius if you want to live in this area. Not here. (The two stars is for the community, not the complex)

sign your lease at all the fees they tell you they have when you move out, but you brush past it thinking that they just want to make sure the place is great for the next tenant. 14 months later, I get a move out statement that has me replacing a whole new carpet. Mind you, the carpet was totally clean and there were no odors. Apparently they lift up the carpet after every move, no matter how clean the carpet looks at the top. This was never told to me prior to signing a lease. Totally predatory. They also charged me for a whole new $75 blind that was already broken when I moved in. I was charged over $1000 at move out. Yes, we are in the middle of a pandemic. Yes, I am finding a whole new apartment in a new city and have to pay first months rent at the same time they are asking me for $1000. I have never lived anywhere where they replace the entire carpet for stains UNDERNEATH the carpet. DO NOT MOVE HERE, THE OTHER REVIEWS ARE TRUE! THEY WILL CHARGE YOU RIDICULOUS FEES AT MOVE OUT. Have a lawyer on retainer because apparently they have no problem going to court. If you haven't moved out yet, DOCUMENT AND TAKE PICTURES OF EVERYTHING.
First off, the management here was the best. Kerrilee was very friendly, understanding, and respectful and so were all the maintenance staff. I never had a problem about anything when it came to management. The community was so peaceful, clean and respectful, I loved it here. I was sad when it was time to leave. My son and I are very grateful to have lived here.
Property Manager at MAA Cornelius, Responded To This Review
Hi Maribel, we are very happy to have provided you with such a positive experience! Thank you so much again for your feedback! We hope you have a great day!
If you want to live in a community where your concerns dont matter then this is the place for you. My family and i moved back for a 2nd time due to our first experience being pretty good as we lived here a little under 2 years however when we move back its quite the disappointment. The apartment was not cleaned just fresh carpet put down. Maintence is short with you and rude and a little slow they mark work orders complete even though they never came to your apartment to fix anything and tends to walk into apartment without warning or permission and they due the bare minimum its.pretty sad i liked it better when the maintenance guy Nick was here! also the cable Which is $80 seems a bit ridiculous i believe spectrum should be optional not mandatory. Another con the new place we moved into seems very old there was rot growing around the window seals as well as under the computer desk. The fan glass shields also seems very outdated also if u live in the back more towards the compactor you will have no service. Other than that the apt is pretty spacious. But the community is going downhill.
Property Manager at MAA Cornelius, Responded To This Review
Thank you for making us your home for a second time! We're glad to know that Nick served you well and that you appreciate your spacious home. We want this living experience with us to be just as good, if not better, than your first living experience with us, so we value your feedback on how we might better satisfy you. Please contact our resident care line at 866-620-1130, so we can gather additional insight and share it with the respective team who can work on resolving your concerns. We appreciate the opportunity to make things right.
The Good: -Large 2 bedroom units with a really great layout -Maintenance is top notch. -Grounds, pool, workout center, grill, etc are very nice. -Pet policy. No breed restrictions on dogs. -Tons of parking. -Lack of trash valet is positive for me, may be a con for you. -Internet is fast, 400 MB/Sec I think, and stable. The Bad: -EXTREMELY expensive for the in unit amenities. Cheap flooring, cheap cabinets, cheap countertops, and cheap appliances. I am in an upgraded unit as well. -Very large increase in rent from year 1 to 2. -Forced to pay for the aforementioned internet and cable. -Windows have huge amounts of condensation on them leading to puddles of standing water on the sills and mildew all around the frame. My editorializing on it. Unless I didn't do my research, MAA operate 2 of very few apartment complexes in the CLT region that allows "aggressive breeds". Because of this they are able to charge rent that is totally unrealistic. Other places provide similar grounds and nicer units for similar or lower prices.
Property Manager at MAA Cornelius, Responded To This Review
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. We love hearing that you appreciate our service and feel our shared amenities are nice. However, we are concerned to learn of your frustration with your in-unit amenities and our renewal rate. Our goal is to offer you a pleasant living experience at a competitive price, so we appreciate you letting us know about your concerns. We'd like to have a dialogue with you about your feedback and experience, so please contact our resident care line at 866-620-1130, so we can gather additional insight to adequately address your concerns. We look forward to speaking with you.
Wonderful apartment complex, I highly recommend. Everyone has been super helpful and friendly since move in a few months ago. We have needed maintenance a few times and they are always very responsive and professional. I love that they do not have breed restrictions like so many other apartments do, making it a comfortable place to call home for my entire family. There is a nice BBQ area and the pool area is very nice as well, I am looking forward to warmer weather so I can use it. The grounds are kept clean and the apartment itself is spacious with plenty of storage and is quiet. I was worried about complex living that there would be noise issues, but not here. I am happy we chose this as our home.
Property Manager at MAA Cornelius, Responded To This Review
Thank you for your detailed recommendation! Our team is delighted to know that the outstanding service, excellent amenities, and peaceful atmosphere of our community has made such a favorable impression. We look forward to having your family here with us for a long time to come!
The staff are very friendly, and the location is fantastic. We got the most square footage for the best price out of any complexes in the area, and our floorplan is one of the best I've ever seen in an apartment. The appliances (particularly kitchen) need some updating, but all appliances were included and are in great working order, so we really can't complain too much! Our building is super quiet and we never hear the neighbors, so it's easy to get a great night's rest. All-in-all, we've had a quality experience at Colonial Grande Cornelius, and we'd recommend it to anyone!
I enjoy living at colonial grand in cornelius. The size , and layout of the apartment are adequate. I like have the washer and dryer within the apartment. I cook often and I like the kitchen, however I would add under cannot lighting, and possibly a pendant light above the kitchen sink. I am on the third floor and rarely hear my neighbors, and this to me is one of the most important things in living in close proximity to strangers is having minimal noise. The staff at cornelius are very nice. Kerrilee especially and the maintenance crew Johnny and one other man.
Colonial Grand is not just an apt complex it's my home
It?s been wonderful. Pretty quiet for the most part. Everyone is friendly.
It is a great place to call home. It's quiet, grounds are kept in excellent condition and the staff is AWESOME!
I like it. My apartment is very cozy and comfortable. I love the layout and design of it.
The property is clean, the apartment is awesome, staff has been awesome since day one.
Very good Love my apartment and it is very quiet
I've enjoyed the peace and quiet here, and as a single female, I've always felt very safe here. The staff is always friendly and out-of-the-way helpful to meet any need that I may have.
Enjoy living here very much, the only complaint I have, is the noise that comes from upstairs, do not know what's going on, are they working out? Other then that maintenance and management are very cooperative and professional.
Very comfortable! The team here is friendly helpful and so knowledgeable.
Very welcoming and well maintained. Staff is very accommodating
I have enjoyed calling Colonial Grand at Cornelius home!
First off I am not an employee and was not asked to write this review! I recently just moved here and I loveeeeeeee it! Everyone is so friendly even the stores near by the people are friendly even the McDonald’s! Kerrilee and Shannon are honestly the greatest! They are sooo sweet they made the moving process so smooth and easy I love them! The apartments are amazing we’ve had no problems so far! It’s very quiet and friendly. Parking is good also there’s ample parking, they accept any kind of dog. The have a 24/7 gym that’s actually a nice one. It was between this place and sailpointe and I’m sooooo glad we chose this place! If you are considering visit it you will absolutely love it! The ONLY thing I’d change is that the cable you have to pay for every month! We don’t use cable so it’s a negative for us! Other than that I wouldn’t change a thing!

Colonial Grand at Cornelius is a great place to call home.The landscaping is always kept up and the property looks spectacular. The property is only 6 years old and they just added a beautiful stainless steel outdoor kitchen for the residents, close to the pool. The property is located right in the heart of Lake Norman, there are so many stores and restaurants in walking distance. Lake Norman is 5 min away for those who love outdoor water activities, and their is easy access to major highways to get into Charlotte.
